HQ can index thousands of different file formats, and each Format has specific Connectors and Extractors corresponding to the two phases of Indexing - Scanning and Extraction. An Extractor can often operate on multiple related file formats, and a particular type of file may have more than one associated Extractor. This article is focused on the list of file Formats and their associated Extractors in HQ.
